re: Big Brother 20 - Season Long Thread

I'm pretty SJW, but calling that racist is a bit of a stretch. A tad ignorant and insensitive maybe, but not really racist.


I was on the Swaggy C train, but he is actually an insufferable douche. Still prefer him over Steve though. God, that guy is awful.

Have you ever watched Steve on the feeds? The guy will sit there with one other person and carry on an hour long monologue to them where all they do in reply is say “uh huh” or “yeah”. It’s typically about motorcycles. I’ve never heard of a person capable of talking that much about how bad arse of a motorcyclist they are. Steve’s problem isn’t that he’s 10 years older than them, it’s that he’s insufferably self-absorbed and loves to hear himself talk. He likes to think that he’s Derrick, but Derrick knew how to shut up.

Also hate:
Rockstar
Swaggy

I see them as the ghetto black and ultralib white versions of each other. Equally annoying.

Bayleigh has sabotaged her game by basically withdrawing from the social sphere to just exclusively hang with Swaggy.

Kaitlyn is a woo woo moonbat but for some reason is less annoying and better socially than Rockstar. At least for now. That’s subject to change.

I think the comment about not wanting to stay in the sun long because it'd make her look ghetto was pretty insensitive. But nothing to lose one's mind over and scream racism.

This is such a non-offensive thing though, especially in the context it was said. If one of them were getting into an argument with bayleigh and said somethign like "don't get all ghetto on me now", then sure, I could see people being offended by that. Pointing out that constant sun exposure is turnign them very dark adn looking ghetto just seems like people going out of their way to seek out things to be "offended" by. I feel like a white person these days can't mention anythign at all about black people or hardly even use the word black without someone crying racism over it.

I’m watching. These three are awful.

like 5% of what's said over this summer in there "needs" to be said. They have zero entertainment or connection to the world besides talkign to each other 24/7, obviously you're going to chit chat and shoot the shite just to pass the time

I blame her for not being self aware

I'm on board with that, it wasn't very aware. But it's not racist either. I mean hell how old is she, early 20s? If someone that age saw something lame or stupid going on and was like "man that's gay" would people cry out about their homophobia? It was just an expression, there wasn't some deep seeded racism rooted in it.

Maybe not homophobia but by saying something like "ghetto" it does lead to questions. Aaryn started by saying small shite and then slowly got exposed for being a full out racist. I don't think this warrants that reaction but she does need to understand that her words can ruin her life once she leaves the house.

Really TMZ has made it worse. People would get mad about it in the past but TMZ pumps the outrage and makes it into a bigger deal than it should be. That said, they've been doing that for a few years so she should know that "ghetto" might not be the best word selection.

I'm reading through the stuff from last night. Tyler handled Kaitlyn perfectly. He's good and he's really low key about it. I didn't think that I would like him, but I do.
